Description of the problem	On feb 14th, 2015 i was driving on a main road, there was a snow blizzard, it was just starting, i was trying to stop on an intersection my speed was less then 10mph, there was a truck in front of me, my car slipped hitting the hook on the truck. There is a small hole on bumper that small impact activated the airbags. My left wrist was broken. Ulna and radius fracture pretty bad. I was taken on ambulance to the hospital and got surgery 2 weeks after. It's taking me 6 weeks out of work and 3 months to recover. I believe the airbag at that speed shouldn't come out. The front window was broken because of passenger sit airbag and seatbelt on front sits have to be replace.
